Laura and I spent Sat & Sun morn down in San Diego. We had a great time just walking around the Seaport area and downtown, had a fantastic dinner and then a quite night in front of the fire place at our hotel. Sunday we wandered around downtown and than headed back north to Mugs Away to watch the game with friends.

I saw this post before and kind of ignored it because I personally only wear a helmet when required, and HATE full face ones. After reading your post, Lucky, and remembering the accident your son had (and what your family went through) I followed the link for this helmet. WOW! a full face for under $40. Has to be CRAP. Ya can't even get a good (relatively) beanie helmet for that.

I too support the right to choose whether to wear a helmet or not. A person would only buy a $39 helmet if they are only wearing it because it is required. That is why this cracks me up... anyone looking for a 3/4 or full-face helmet is most certainly doing so because they are wanting the most protection they can get which you are not goin to get for $39. Hell people spend $200+ on a jacket to stay warm and only gonna pay $39 to protect their head... that has me scratching mine!

By the way Ryan... Please don't think we are picking on you in anyway. You stated you were look... less

Thanks in advance.

I personally would NOT even consider this helemt or recommend it to ANYONE who is actually looking at a hemet for any type of protection. This is a cheep piece of crap that most likely just barely passes the DOT standards.

Lucky shared RoadCaptain's blog. An old post just updated with current information on new 'Dead Red' laws being passed in a number of states to allow motorcycles to proceed through a red light that will not change because it doesn't sense the presence of the motorcycle.

A standard cloth flag will tend to do that. Flags that are intended to be flown from a moving vehicle are normally a little tougher and made out of a synthetic blend like nylon. I have a CycleFish flag that a good friend had made for me and it has probably over 10,000 miles on it.

This was my first Road King, a 2002 that I got in August of 2001. It was actually my first ever touring bike, and I loved it. Laura and I put over 100,000 miles on this bike in the 5 years we had it. It saw many rallies, lots of great rides, and ran like a champ the entire time.

I loved my Road King so much that when it came time for a new bike, I bought the exact same bike, color and all, in a 2007 model.

This is my second Road King. I loved my first one so much that when it came time for a new bike, I bought the exact same bike, color and all.

I don't do a lot to it as far as looks go...new floor boards, shift linkage, and break pedal is about it. If I add stuff to the King, it is normally for comfort or utility. I ride the heck out of it, (normally with Laura on the back), depending on the year, we do 20,000 - 30,000 miles per year, and very seldom use it for anything but fun.

My son was wearing something very similar to this last spring when he had an accident at relativly slow speed. The helmet shattered and he suffered severe head trauma.
If you were just buying it because it is required, then fine. However you mentioned you desired protection and this is NOT it. This is your head we are talking about here!
